Volume 2: Step by Step Lotus Chapter 74: Stealing the Xuanyin Stone
When the boat was still more than ten meters away from the shore, a rain of arrows of different colors came overwhelmingly towards the water. Feng Lian made a quick decision and jumped into the water. Many of the arrows were shot by Martial Emperor-level cultivators, and he didn't think he could stop them.
After jumping into the water, Feng Lian realized that underwater is not safer than on the surface. As soon as he fell into the water, he was immediately besieged by dozens of arm-sized tiger toothfish. Don't look at the small size of these fish, the level is all six or seven order, and the lethality is very amazing.
In order to save spiritual power, Feng Lian directly sacrificed "Feitian". The Xuan-level first-grade armor with a spiritual power shield was also bitten out one after another. It can be seen how powerful their attack power is. Fortunately, the cultivators on the small boat were very smart, and they would rather go into the water to face the tiger tooth fish than face the rain of arrows, sharing a lot of pressure for Feng Lian.
Feng Lian dealt with the tiger tooth fish while swimming quickly towards the shore. Before he could recharge his strength, a Martial Immortal-level high-level cultivator was injured by a tiger toothfish, and the blood attracted more fish.
However, this cultivator did not go out, and when he saw that Feng Lian's level was lower, he approached Feng Lian, hoping that the fish would attack Feng Lian and create a chance for himself to escape.
"Your uncle, get out of here. Feng Lian was so angry that he scolded.
Not only the tiger toothfish, Feng Lian also saw two emerald-like points of light towards his position. You don't have to think about it to know that this is a blue bone fish known as the underwater overlord, because this fish has no flesh on its body, only silver-white veins connected to the cyan skeleton. They are not numerous, but very few other fish feed on them, so they live a long life and have a very high level of cultivation.
Feng Lian kicked the man away, but he followed again. Feng Lian, who didn't want to waste too much spiritual power, had to take out the abuse sheng, and while he was busy dealing with the fish, he gave him a blow to cover the sky with one hand, and then pierced his heart with a knife.
The dagger in the other party's hand before he died also cut Feng Lian's arm. Coupled with many injured people, the smell of blood quickly spread in the water.
"It's not good, the smell of blood has attracted the frog dragon under the water, hurry up!"
I don't know who shouted with divine sense, and everyone under the water was panicked in an instant, and everyone attacked the fish desperately and rushed to the shore desperately. The continuous release of spiritual power caused the river to roll in bursts. Half an hour later, it finally erupted, and with a loud bang, a huge column of water rose from the water, overturning several small boats on the water, and many people fell into the water. There was a heavy rainstorm on the shore, and the attack weakened a lot.
While dealing with the fish, Feng Lian speeds up the repair of wounds and guards against other people's sneak attacks. Now there are hundreds of people underwater, and as long as the bleeding is stopped, the fish will not take the initiative to attack him.
Before he could repair his wounds, a loud roar was heard from underwater. The sound wave was extremely powerful, and he and the others were rushed directly into the air. A snake-like creature rushed out of the water from the bottom of the water and swallowed six or seven immortal cultivators in one gulp.
Feng Lian bites the tip of his tongue to keep himself awake. Still couldn't dodge a Martial Emperor intermediate cultivator beside him, he stepped on his chest, and the other party fell directly back to the water. Feng Lian, who was about to fall back into the water, was swept away by the tail of the frog dragon and flew sideways with dozens of people.
With a loud bang, Feng Lian broke through several walls in a row, and finally smashed a stone pillar. His eyes flashed with gold stars for a while, and a mouthful of blood spurted out directly. If it weren't for the sound of "bang-bang" coming from the follow-up, he would have passed out.
"What's going on! How did someone break into the house? With shouts and chaotic footsteps, several Immortal Realm cultivators ran towards Feng Lian's side.
Feng Lian endured the pain, took off his coat, revealing the night clothes that blended in with the night, and released the "Hidden Dream Technique" and burrowed into the ruins behind him.
The people who rushed in were just about to dig through the ruins to check when two more people flew into the courtyard. The men walked over and cut off the heads of the unconscious men with great skill.
One person returned to see the ruins. Suddenly, half of the frog dragon appeared above the water, and it was more than fifty meters high. It lowered its head slightly, and let out a long roar at the people who were fighting, and most of the cultivators who had not advanced to the immortal realm were directly stunned to death by the sound waves. Except for the cultivators of the Martial Ancestor level who could resist this sound wave, the rest of the people suffered internal injuries of varying degrees.
"A few of you hurry up to the dock to help, and kill more people while the frog dragon is still full. Feng Lian heard that the person who spoke was Zhang Xianzhong.
After those people left the small courtyard, Feng Lian adjusted his state and immediately went to Zhang Xianzhong's room. Feng Lian was very familiar with the island owner's mansion, and soon found the house where Zhang Xianzhong lived.
"Don't you say that you have blocked the entire island? Why are so many people still breaking into the island?" In the room, Zhang Shunqing asked Zhang Xianzhong dissatisfiedly.
Zhang Xianzhong bowed his head and said, "I don't know who leaked the news." Damn Wei Anfu, he refused to hand over the token of the lore array, causing so many of us to die. If you find him, you will definitely break him into pieces
。 ”
Zhang Shunqing snorted lightly: "Giving you so many people, you haven't been able to take him down, let me say what is good about you? Being taken on the boat by you, I have no way out, Wei Anfu must die, and I can't let him leave the island alive." ”
Zhang Xianzhong said lightly: "Father, please rest assured, the child will definitely be able to control the island in his hands." Not only the island, but also the other eight islands, I will gradually encroach on them. When the time comes, we will even live in the City Lord's Mansion ......"
Zhang Shunqing roared in a low voice: "Shut up, how many times have I told you, I have great reverence for the city lord." Delusional will kill you. ”
After being silent for a while, Zhang Shunqing said again: "Have you never seen the means of the Innocent Prince, the strong man of the gods is like an ant in his eyes, and he can be pinched to death at will." Although he has not shown up all these years, it does not mean that he does not pay attention to Lucheng's every move. In this chaos, I don't know how many people's lives have been erased from this world by him. ”
Zhang Xianzhong said indifferently: "In that great war thousands of years ago, he was either seriously injured and died, or he had already fallen. The information I get is absolutely reliable, and the child will not be left untargeted. ”
Zhang Shunqing said dissatisfiedly: "Do you think I don't know that you have been sneakily doing some unsightly things all these years? I just hope that you can stop in moderation, some people, some things, we can't afford to contaminate." You'd better take the Xuanyin Stone with you, we'll all die if you lose it. ”
Zhang Xianzhong said with a smile: "The more dangerous the place, the safer." The matter of the Xuanyin Stone in our hands can't be hidden for long, so I have to put it in a surprise place. ”
Zhang Shunqing frowned and said, "You can just put it away yourself, if you lose it, I will kill you first!" I'll go to the dock to see the situation over there." ”
After Zhang Shunqing left, Zhang Xianzhong sat in the room all the time, and was unmoved even if the world was turned upside down outside. Feng Lian guessed that the Xuanyin stone must be somewhere in the room.
Feng Lian thought that a fire would burn down the house, so he didn't believe that he wouldn't come out. But once the spirit flame is released, the other party will definitely be able to detect his existence.
At this time, the dock of the island has become a mess. Those cultivators who originally attacked the island had to shift their targets and fight against the water spirit clan led by the ninth-order peak Frog Dragon. We must always beware of the island, which is constantly releasing cold arrows, and has slowly fallen into the downwind.
When more than half of the attackers were killed or wounded, there was finally a turnaround, and reinforcements from other Yashima arrived, and several Martial Ancestor-level cultivators came to attack the Frog Dragon together. It will take time to defeat or kill it. After all, the water is its territory, and the frog dragon is not stupid to rush forward, but to direct the fish to attack the bottom of various ships.
One person hurriedly ran to the door of Zhang Xianzhong, and did not dare to enter inside, only loudly reported the situation on the dock outside, "My lord, people from other islands have rushed over one after another. We have quite a few people who have been injured and need a lot of pills to heal. ”
Zhang Xianzhong took out a few bottles of pills and threw them over very painfully, and said, "Save some use, there will be a big war ahead." ”
The man got the jade bottle, but he didn't leave, Zhang Xianzhong asked impatiently: "What's the matter, hurry up." ”
The man seemed to have mustered up enough courage before he said hesitantly: "Master Zhang is also injured, and he needs the healing elixir of the master's first product." ”
When Zhang Xianzhong heard this, he suddenly stood up and shouted: "What? Why did my father go to war? Why do you want you to come? Even my father can't protect me. ”
Zhang Xianzhong just raised his foot, and the man was kicked out of the yard.
Feng Lian saw Zhang Xianzhong pacing anxiously in the house, and walked out of the door several times and turned back. Every time I looked up, my eyes casually swept over the teapot on the table.
Feng Lian comprehended, presumably the Xuanyin stone was in that teapot. It's just that he doesn't leave, and Feng Lian can't do it.
A quarter of an hour later, another man came to report. It is said that hundreds of people have landed on the pier, and the frog dragon not only attacks the ships on the water, but also the people on the pier. Elder Zhang and several worshippers were injured to varying degrees, and they urgently needed pills, otherwise it would be difficult to block the subsequent cultivators from landing on the island. In addition, some people shouted that the Xuanyin Stone was on the island.
Zhang Xianzhong's expression changed when he heard the latter sentence. He took out a bottle of pill and wanted to throw it to the man, but he felt that he was not at ease with handing over such a valuable thing to him, so he hesitated for a moment before saying, "You go over first, and I will send them the pill in a while." ”
Zhang Xianzhong paced in the house for another quarter of an hour before he snorted and strode out of the room.
Feng Lian was not in a hurry, and still lay on the window lattice without moving. Sure enough, Zhang Xianzhong walked outside the door for a few minutes, and then turned around and returned again. Tsai took a closer look at the condition of the room before turning to leave.
Feng Lian confirmed that he had really left this time, and after walking away, he cautiously walked through the door into the house. He had carefully observed before, and every window had a magic circle in it, but not the door
And in order to achieve the point that "the more dangerous the place, the safer", Zhang Xianzhong did not even close the door when he left.
Feng Lian's divine sense swept the table over and over again, and only after confirming that there was no magic circle did he untie the teapot lid. Sure enough, there was a pure black stone the size of an egg.
As soon as his fingers touched the Xuanyin Stone, Lingyan immediately surged towards the stone, as if he hated it very much. Feng Lian hurriedly withdrew the Lingyan and quickly put the Xuanyin Stone into the bone ring.
"Tick-" a shrill voice pierced the night sky. Feng Lian didn't expect that Zhang Xianzhong also had a magic circle in the teapot, and the entire room immediately shot out countless purple red rays.
Feng Lian didn't have time to think about it, and immediately flew up to the beams of the house, which was the only place in the room where he could accommodate his body. Feng Lian took out a looted spiritual weapon and threw it at one of the magic array eyes.
After the sound of "crackling", the long sword of the Xuan-level first-grade was shot into a piece of scrap metal by the purple-red ray. Feng Lian was shocked, how could he get out of such lethality?
"Whoosh—" A figure cleverly avoided the fuchsia light and stood on the edge of the table.
Unexpectedly, the first person to rush back was not Zhang Xianzhong, but his father Zhang Shunqing. The muscles on Zhang Shunqing's face, which was covered in blood, trembled slightly, stretched out his right hand in horror, trembled and opened the lid of the teapot, and saw that it was empty, so angry that he smashed the teapot. There was another screeching alarm.
After a while, Zhang Xianzhong finally rushed back, looking at the broken teapot on the ground, his face was changing in red, yellow, blue, green, and purple.
Zhang Shunqing said angrily: "Don't you say that the safer it is, the more dangerous it is? What about the things? The Xuanyin Stone is lost, and our lives are gone!"
Zhang Xianzhong took a deep breath, and his face immediately returned to normal. Looking at the scrap iron-like spiritual weapon, he said firmly: "He must still be on the island, and he will definitely be able to find him." ”
When Zhang Shunqing heard this, he became even more angry and shouted: "Earlier you said that Wei Anfu was still hiding on the island, but have you found him?
Zhang Xianzhong looked at the long sword on the ground and said, "No, why didn't there leave a trace of blood." Even if the gods are strong, it is impossible for them to leave unscathed after the circle is activated......"
"Report!" the shouts of a man outside interrupted Zhang Xianzhong's words.
Zhang Shunqing said impatiently: "What's the matter, say it quickly." ”
The man outside said, "The frog dragon has sunk back into the water, and it is estimated that more than 3,000 cultivators have landed on the island and are rushing towards the island lord's mansion. ”
Zhang Shunqing shouted: "Withdraw everyone and defend the Island Lord's Mansion." ”
After waiting for the people outside to leave, Zhang Shunqing asked, "What is the level of the person you invited? I haven't been able to crack the island protection array for so long, what a waste!"
Zhang Xianzhong said with a bitter face: "In the entire Western Continent, he can be regarded as a formation master, but no matter how high the level is, it will take time to crack it." ”
Zhang Shunqing waved his hand and said, "I don't care about this, you get the Xuanyin Stone back as soon as possible." I'm going to see the man now. Explain the situation to him here, otherwise our family is finished. ”
Zhang Xianzhong stopped Zhang Shunqing and said, "Father, you can't let them know about this matter, and it can be hidden for a while." I'll arrange for someone to find it out now. ”
Zhang Shunqing said coldly: "Now you are still thinking about how to defend the Island Lord's Mansion." I'll go to the man and ask him to send some men, or we alone won't be of any use." ”
Zhang Xianzhong hurriedly said: "Father, listen to the child, you can't let that person know at this time!"
Zhang Shunqing said resolutely: "Child, this matter can't be hidden, if you want to minimize the loss, you can only tell them the truth as soon as possible." ”
After Zhang Shunqing finished speaking, he turned around and walked towards the gate. Zhang Xianzhong suddenly had a silver-white spear in his hand, which was inserted directly from Zhang Shunqing's back heart and stabbed out from the heart.
Zhang Shunqing looked back at his son in disbelief, and only said the word "you". The spear suddenly exploded, blasting a thigh-thick hole in his chest.
"Father, if you don't listen to your child, you will have to die. What I'm planning is too big for you, an old immortal, to stop it. ”
Zhang Xianzhong put Zhang Shunqing's body into the ethereal ring, condensed the aura to clean the blood stains on the ground, and pressed the corner of the table, and a masked black-clothed phantom appeared on the table.
"Make a decision at the right time and kill your relatives with righteousness. You are the one who can achieve great things. The man in black sniffed the smell of blood in the air, looked at Zhang Xianzhong and praised.
Zhang Xianzhong respectfully saluted the phantom and said, "I've seen the envoy, I don't know when the sect master will be able to relieve the danger of leaving the island?"
The man in black said blandly, "Don't be impatient. The seal of the island needs more fresh blood to pay tribute, so you can just kill. You don't need to worry about the rest of the things, and the benefits promised to you will not be less than you. ”
